If you're working with maven 3 you can check the miniguide "Guide to Woeking with multiple modules". Reactor should sort out your modules in such way that dependency modules are built earlier in the reactor but in my experience they would get skipped if you use resume flag. The guide suggests that you could try including also-make and also-make-dependents to ensure that modules get rebuilt both ways when you rebuild a particular module.
My advice is to look through your module declaration order and fix your poms to not depend on modules that appear later in the build process. That way you won't depend on reactor figuring out the order for you and reduce possible headaches in the future. On Thu, Nov 25, 2021, 11:22 Delany <delany.middle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi.
